This Is One On Point 2008 Tundra

Kansas gets a bad rap. People joke about the flat land, wheat fields, and the Kansas City Royals, but we’re guessing these people don’t know about the world-class bird hunting in Kansas, not to mention Kansas City Barbecue. If you live in Kansas and you enjoy bird-hunting, you need five things:
- A shotgun
- Non-toxic ammo
- A license for the birds you’re looking for
- A dog that knows how to find birds (more than one is even better)
- A truck
Of course, you can still hunt if you know someone who has #4 and #5. If you don’t have a truck or a good dog (or three), think about getting to know OnPointTundra – he’s got it covered.
OnPointTundra (also known as Josh) has decked out his 08′ CrewMax to be a bird hunting machine. First, you’ve got to be able to drive around in the fields without getting stuck. That means a good set of tires…and a nice set of wheels is an added bonus. This truck has a set of 18×9 XD Monster wheels with 325/60 R18 Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ’s, which are a little more than 33″ around. Bigger tires on a slightly wider wheel mean that a set of Bushwacker Fender Flares help protect the truck from whatever the bitter tires kick up.
The stock Toyota Tundra has tires with an overall diameter of about 32″, so adding an inch in tire diameter requires a leveling kit. This truck has a Truxxx 3″ lift kit. Heavy-duty bumpers are also a nice add-on when you’re banging around in the fields, and they’re not bad when you’re parking in the middle of downtown K.C. either.
This Tundra has a nice set of solid steel Expedition One winch bumpers front and rear, which include mounting points for this truck’s PIAA 510 ion fog lights. Expedition One’s bumpers are very similar to ARB’s Sahara front bumpers, and both are a great add-on for work duties. They also look pretty great next to the blacked-out rims, aftermarket tint job, and black N-fab step bars.
Inside the truck, there’s a back-up camera, homelink, and heavy-duty floor mats to keep everything clean.
We’ve talked about trucks and dog safety before, and we have to commend Josh for investing in a dog box. It’s one of the safest ways to transport his dog, and it looks great too. There are three doors, one for each of the dogs: Rocky the Boxer, Florida, and Missy (both Florida and Missy are English Pointers). Here’s a pic of Missy doing what she loves:

OnPointTundra – nicely done. Your truck is a great example of how to build a bird-hunting machine, not to mention a great field truck.

Nice seeing a featured truck that does some work! Good job, Josh.
That is a nice looking tire and chrome wheel. I really like that chrome wheel, what I can see of it. Does anybody know what breed it is?
Good looking hunting rig!
Non-toxic ammo? Does that beautiful truck have a Delco stereo in it? Just asking for Mickey. Is it 4×4?
Ken it is a Toyota Tundra. Just joking! It looks to be a english pointer. I have two.
Greg get over yourself. The breed of the dog is written right under the picture there Greg. As for the Delco it’s no difference than you blaming Toyoda for the power steering pump which is half owned by him.
Mickey I didn’t ask the question. The point of the delco stereos was you stated that they are installed in toyota’s. But you can’t find anything to prove it. You can not back up what you say so I take it all as BS. You have no credibility. There is a difference in the power steering pump and delco. One is true and the other seems to be a LIE. Unless someone can prove it, MICKEY! Shut up and chew on that shoe!
Great looking truck. Mine is the same color and a d/c, but so far just a plain jane. I like the front bumper and the black fender flares, it breaks up that solid white color and gives some depth and boldness.
Non-toxic ammo = steel shot (instead of lead).
Maybe i missed something here, but what’s all the talk about Delco stereos and power steering pumps?? I know that Delco has made some terrible stock stereos in the past but the one in my Chevy HHR sounds great. The stock stereo in my Tundra sounds terrible, no mid’s at all.
The GM one + million vehicle recall is for power steering pumps. Well ol Mickey made some comments about how the GM recall was quite compared to Toyota. So I gave him the facts that the company who made the power steering pumps for GM is partically owned by Toyota, and if the media was “out for” Toyota don’t you think they would have been all over that as news stories. Well Mickey keep replying that GM owns Delco and Toyota uses Delco stereos in some models. Long story short if you call his bluff and say where did you get your info, you don’t get a answer. He tries to change the story and spin info. He’s got a chip on his shoulder now, for instance Ken asked about the dog and I answered. So ol Mickey tried to jump on me. Some peoples children, ya know!

The non-toxic lead, I thought it was a joke when I seen it in the store for triple the price of lead. So people really use it. I won’t! Too expensive.
Thank you for clarifying this.
I am surprised my hhr is not on that recall list since it shares so many parts with the cobalt, including the delta platform.
well, the powersteering recall may not compare to the current toyota fiasco, but the 1970’s and 1980’s sidesaddle gas tank issue certainly does (GM negotiated to not formally recall them), as well as the Ford SUA issues of the 1990’s and the Grand Cherokee in the late 1990’s. But that neither here nor there and i really don’t want to point fingers back and forth.
Mickey may be right about Tundra’s having delco radios. Delco’s were installed in several Toyota models in the past. (also used panasonic, jbl, pioneer, fujitsu, ect) this link shows some of the oem’s for sale.

Not to defend mickey, but i think right now we all have a few chips on our shoulders. Every car i’ve ever owned has been recalled for something. Regarding sudden unintended acceleration recalls, this would include 1 gmc sierra, 1 buick grand national, 1 pontiac firebird, 1 chevy corvette and 2 toyotas (camry and tundra).
non-toxic ammo. expensive but i think it’s legally required for waterfowl in most southern states but i may be wrong about that. i know that there is a huge movement to lessen the amount of lead that hunters leave in the environment. I don’t bird hunt so i wouldn’t know the state requirments for that kind of hunting. As for deer hunting, only muzzleloaders would fit that catagory, but it has a higher percentage of tin and antimony mixed in to give it more hardness to keep it from deforming when fired at the higher speeds (fps) and hotter powders of todays modern primitive firearms. Also, steel shot is faster than lead shot. Sorry for the long post.
I put Delco and GM together. Delco is GM’s biggest supplier. Delco has always been a name with GM. Yes Greg. They along with Body by Fisher. A name known to be GM. Anything else Greg?
Oh btw Greg it’s Toyoda is 1/2 owner which they acquired recently.
Damn fine looking truck Josh. Only one question, is that a John Deere tag on that front bumber in the top picture? Somebody’s uncle needs to send him a CAT tag.
I’m thinking custom painted tag!!
Greg – Non-toxic ammo isn’t required for all the birds you can hunt in Kansas, just the birds that live on or near the water…my experience: it’s better to buy non-toxic than it is to try and convince a wildlife officer the lead shot in your truck is just for shooting clays on the weekend…:-)
Scott – I feel like you might know Josh…funny comment for sure!
